Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" is perhaps the most famous German film of all time, and certainly one of the most influential of all silent films. In its lifetime it has been: drastically re-edited (shortly after release); unseen for decades; revisioned with a modern music score in the 1980s; and thanks to the work of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung and a network of archives all over the world, restored in 2001.
This restoration of "Metropolis" is almost certainly the most complete and authentic version possible of Lang's original 1927 vision.
